December 9th – Jack Boskett – From Railways to Royalty – The Story Continues
Please arrive at 7.15 pm for Xmas drinks and nibbles before the presentation.

Multi-award-winning photographer Jack Boskett returns to us following his popular From Railways to Royalty presentation last year – and a great deal has happened since!
In this updated presentation, Jack will share the latest chapter of his remarkable photographic journey, alongside some of the stories and images that have defined his career. From a childhood fascination with railways to photographing some of the biggest national and Royal occasions of recent years, Jack’s camera has taken him to places he could never have imagined when he first picked one up.
His extraordinary portfolio includes working as an official photographer during Queen Elizabeth II’s funeral and King Charles III’s Coronation, as well as numerous Royal engagements and major events across the country.
Jack will reveal the stories behind the photographs, what happens behind the scenes and how his lifelong passion for the railways unexpectedly opened the door to an extraordinary career in photography.
For those who enjoyed last year’s presentation, expect new photographs, new stories and plenty of updates – along with some old favourites and, of course, Jack’s trademark humour.
The story has moved on – and there’s plenty more to tell!
